Fibre prep is time consuming

Continuing the preparation of the fleece named fluffy is the order of the day. This is my first day off from my paid employment in what seems like ages.

Up until now I've been carding the fleece but the staple is so long that it makes it difficult to card using carders, so I've decided to comb it instead. Combing is great because you get such airy lofty fibre, however it is sooooo labour intensive it's quite a task!

Pictured here is the latest batch in progress. On the left is the washed fleece, and in the blue tray is the combed fibre.... Doesn't it look lovely?

I hope Fluffy's owner likes the fibre, as it's taking so long to comb, but I believe the end product is worth it....
